"Fortune has at last -- fortune has at last / / Fortune has at last changed in our _fa_-vor!"
A hundred times, in the weeks that followed, Mary turned the old Vicar's / saying into sort of a chant, and triumphantly intoned it as she went / about the house, making preparations for her journey. Most of the time / she was not aware that her lips were repeating what her heart was / constantly singing, and one day, to her dire mortification, she chanted / the entire strain in one of the largest dry-goods stores in Phoenix, / before she realized what she was doing.
